Atlanta Hawks Receive: G CJ McCollum, F CJ Elleby, F Nassir Little
Portland Trail Blazers Receive: G Bogdan Bogdanovic, C Onyeka Okongwu, F Cam Reddish
CJ McCollum would be the centerpiece of this NBA trade scenario and would be headed to the Atlanta Hawks. He would be the lone player going to the Hawks but that will be enough with what he can bring to the table.
The Hawks have built up enough assets to make this trade possible. At some point, the team could look to make a consolidation move to add another star talent next to Trae Young.
Coming off an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals, there’s no time better than the present for the Hawks to capitalize on pushing the chips to the center of the table to go all-in on a title run.
Bogdan Bogdanovic would lead the return to Portland — giving them another piece next to Lillard in the backcourt. The Trail Blazers will also get young prospects such as Onyeka Okongwu and Cam Reddish, along with a first-round pick in next year’s draft.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around CJ McCollum would impact both the Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trail Blazers.
